Fatty Crab Happy Hour

Fatty Crab My question is, why does one always remember the bad experience and not the good things? Anime Star drink – the picture was kind of inappropriate so I won’t post a picture of it on here but just think. Graphic. We came here for happy hour expecting to have cheaper food, like the cheap Asians we are, but unfortunately it was not the case. I believe only the drinks are cheaper at this time and only some of them not all. We came before it opened apparently, although their times state otherwise. What really bothered me as that they knew that we were waiting and yet when it was officially opened they didn’t even us any attention. We finally ASKED to be seated which is a definite bummer. For an ENTIRE HOUR, there was no one in the restaurant but us and yet service was not attentive which was good because I liked that but also bad because it was hard to get their attention when we needed them.

 We started off with the oysters which were delicious and I believe half price. They were juicy but not too big to swallow. Nicely shucked.

 Then arrived the Scotch Egg which was a delight to look at. The meat on the outside was a bit too salty for me which was unfortunate. The egg was beautifully done though and the vegetables on the side were the highlight. The veggies were a good balance of sour and salty.

 Then the finally – the gua bao (braised pork belly, soft boiled egg and house srirachi) It was delicious but it got soggy pretty quickly from the sauce. The house srirachi was a very nice touch – it added a great kick to it. The pork belly was melt in your mouth tender but the soft boiled egg added a bit too much richness to it. The problem with this dish was that it lacked freshness (yes you could add the veggies on the side) but I meant the pickled freshness and a bit more crunch (like from peanuts or something).

The part that upset me the most was how much they charged us for water. They asked me if I wanted sparkling or still and I should have known that they weren’t going to serve us tap water. I guess its partly my fault but I’m just disappointed a restaurant would not be clearer about such things. They could have said sparkling, still or tap.

Overall – an experience with many ups and downs. Will I be back – definitely not. Would I recommend it? (hoping that you get a better experience) – no.
